Indoor Herb Garden naivete
 

I am hoping that someone can help me because I am completely clueless
right now. I want to start a windowsill herb garden and just received
seeds in the mail. The seeds came with Jiffy Peat pellets, but I am
not sure what to do with the pellets. Are they the best medium in
which to plant the seeds? Or should I be going out to buy soil? Any
help would be appreciated!
